Good Morning All,

The truck is in Limbo right now.
I need to buy an enclosed trailer so I've spent all of my spare time looking for one.

In the meantime the Guy's at Rockford Racecraft have assembled the short block.
All the parts getting ready for there new home.

The infamous v6 Billet Crank.
For you v8 guy's these only take 6 to 9 months to get and cost a small fortune.
$3000.00

The Bowtie Block came from GM with ARP Studs.
Saves a little money there but then again the block wasn't cheap either.

Hey Marty, The block is too pretty.... how about just clear-coating it??

thought about it - but i will be painted the same color as the truck but with a satin finish. Similar to what we are doing with the 57

Good Morning All,

Meet with the Interior guy last week and we are going to start working on the interior while I am waiting to go to paint.
Plans are to Haul the cab over to them early next week now that I have an Enclosed Trailer.


As promised pictures of the pistons & rods in the short block.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

don't cut it down, take part of it over to a plant hybrid lab and have them regenerate it to make more money , faster, and in larger denominations. then you can send everyone on the board a seed or root or something so we can all grow our own money tree and have such awsome rides as marty

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

...Marty what type of vehicle are you planning on towing the trailer with (ie looks as if it will hold 2 vehicles)?

(Years ago at KC Nat`s, the year that GM attended, I remember a young internet-owner age 22 who
showed up with a white enclosed trailer, with an elevator/lift that held his syclone and a SL convertible
above the tiled kitchen/pit/entertainment center).
His "driver" drove the rig to KC while he flew in from CA. Anyways they had a GMC custom
tow truck that had a sleeper cab, A/C, and stereo.
Never forgot that image....<grin>
